Actually, according to Panamanian President Juan Carlos Varela, Panama asked PRC for ties during the early years of Ma, but was rejected by PRC. Now that Tsai denied the existence of the 1992 Consensus, PRC agreed the establishment of diplomatic relations with Panama. It will be a win-win for both countries, as Panama could be the start of a domino effect in South America and Central America.

I feel much trepidation about this. It's not that the Chinese citizens have ill-will (most are good people and have good hearts), but I am very concerned about the intentions of China's monarch in this level of world expansion. Do we really want a monarch who possesses no morality and ethics to export this misanthropic mentality throughout the world?
